Hi, I mistakenly set the network firewall to drop all traffic not specifically allowed as well as setting the global setting to drop. Security.Options>Network Firewall Unfortunately now I can't get to the management web console on any interface. I still have console access so is there a way of changing those settings from the console? Thanks

Best bet might be to create a management rule from your ip address to allow you to login to the gui and undo your changes. Without testing, something like this might work: tmsh modify security firewall management-ip-rules rules add { mgmt-allow { source { addresses add { x.x.x.x } } action accept place-before first } } Hope this helps
